Figurine of seated Artemis found during one of the Acropolis excavation campaigns. The goddess sits on a rectangular seat and has her feet on a footstool. She is clad in chiton with folds rendered in relief and adorned with black motifs. The figure’s right hand rests on her knee whereas with the left she would have held a newly born deer, today lost. She also wears sandals which are painted black.

Preserved are white slip, as well as black and red paint.
